Hello! The week past and next week I am on Easter vacation. I've been assistant instructor-ing at the Easter sailing camp and it's been pretty funny for others, not so much for me. Just a break down of my week.
Tuesday: This was the first day of camp (Monday was a public holiday). After lunch, one of the 420s capsized too close to shore and the mast got stuck in the mud. Add to that the fact that this is an old 420 with leaks in the hull that takes around 10 minutes to right. The two adult instructors went out to right it, leaving me (14) and Noah (13) with around 15 miserable under-12 boys to teach. One boy tried playing cricket with an almond and a piece of wood, hit another one in his face with both the almond and the wood. He had to get NINE stitches. Oh, I had gymnastics right after!
Wednesday: During the camp itself was ok, it was after that was bad. Some of the other monitors and I decided to go in the pool after camp. I left my towel on a bench by the pool and when I came out, it was gone! I walked around the club looking for it for about half an hour in a bikini. I was cold. By the way, I still haven't gotten my towel back.
Thursday: This was the normal-est day of the week. I almost ran over a mark with the power boat and the campers in the boat thought they were going to die. They didn't. I was supposed to go sailing afterwards, but Mum got sick so I couldn't stay back. :(
Friday: Last Easter camp I told a guy in 420 he wasn't evolved enough to learn to sail. He came back this year and threw me in the pool about three times. I was supposed to go to gymnastics afterwards but Mum got sick again so dad had to come pick me up. He would come too late for me to go so I went sailing in my opti. There was so much nice wind! (18-20 knots) I tacked and went to hike, but my foot wasn't under the hiking strap and I fell head-first into the water. Noah stopped his boat to laugh. When we came back in, some of the 420 campers and two of the instructors were still there, playing with fire. (Dumb!) One of the instructors tried it, got scared, fell back and broke a table in the restaurant. They got in trouble. It was pretty funny.
P.S. The Suave leave-in conditioner has been saving my hair and making it easier to brush when I come home too late to wash it. I put it in in the morning before I go sailing, or if I wash it the night before, I will just shampoo and put this in when it's dry. It really strengthens my hair and protects it from the chlorine and salt. I found it in the grocery.
